Allen & Heath ZED-16FX

Excellent mixer

I use this mixer every thay. Not a single issue found. Very powerful. Zero noise.

Great desk

Easy to use, all the usual functions, easy to use for a tandem situation with two desks, with two sets of speakers. Choices of effects, great sliders

Good buy for the price

Uses it for small events and works great.

Easy to use and handle.

Terrific mixer

It's a great buy. Compact, plenty of features and sounds great.

A&H make tons of great mixers but I find their ZED range the easiest to use by far.

Realistically, there's nothing on this mixer you don't want - like quirky difficult to understand switches and unwanted features that take up space.

All of the features are clearly marked and are the ones that are truly useful like led lit mute and pfl buttons are what every-day operators want to see.

The best features I find on this desk are:

- 3 pre-fade Aux channels for 3 seperate monitor mixes

- Very easy to use (and good sounding) FX section

- 100mm faders

- Inserts on every channel

It's a reliable and easy to use workhorse that gets the job done and sounds great. If I had one complaint it would be the lack of direct out's but smaller mixers rarely have those!

Anyway, no issues to report after one year of heavy use; just a quality mixer.

Great Desk

This is a great desk! I have been using this for a little over a year now on our extensive European tours. Only drawback is the cost of the hardcase to go with it in comparison to the ZED-14FX. Plenty of useful features on this with quality sound and a solid build. We haven't had any troubles with this desk. The FX sound great and you have a lot of control over them in the mix with individual channel mixes and an overall mix fader. Everything feels solid and as it should for a quality desk. The faders have a nice action and as do all the pots.
